Went to the Berkshire Museum with another family, (kids ages 2-6) and everyone had a great time. The museum is small enough our 2 year old could walk most of it, a stroller was not neccessary (and would have been a pain with all the stairs! - though there was an elevator) Kids really enjoyed the aquarium exhibit, and it...

We read about this before traveling to Western Massachusetts. My husband liked some of the natural history exhibits, we both enjoyed for fossils, something kids would really enjoy. The art exhibits were very nice. Take several hours to,tour this museum in depth. Very well done,!!

In big cities we like to visit the big famous museums, and always come away with spinning heads and exhausted, often feeling that we missed a lot of what we should have seen. Wonderful thing about these small local museums is they have the perfect amount of stuff to look at for an hour or two - something old, something... More

Had a very nice experience with my husband myself and our 2 year old. Nice displays, wonderful atmosphere, enough to keep you busy but not to overwhelm you while you're traveling with little ones. Child friendly - had some live animals the day we visited which my daughter enjoyed immensley. Plenty to keep the adults and children happy for a... More

We drove 2 hours from home to visit the Berkshire Museum. It took us approximately 2.5 hours to tour all of the exhibits. The kids loved the aquarium tanks with many interesting species as well as the snakes and chameleon. The Egyptian mummies and artifacts were a real hit as were the art pairings. We will likely return to view... More

The Berkshire Museum with its constantly changing exhibits, combines art, history and nature and explores the world with new visions and interactions. Originally founded by the Zenas Crane in 1903(Crane Paper Company) and loved by generations throughout the years, this museum is a DO NOT MISS when visiting the Berkshires. I've seen Escher drawings, dioramas built by the maker of... More

Nice place to get a flavour of the local culture and heritage. I loved the material on the native American Indian history, and the displays of historical period costume were fascinating. Very child-friendly environment, and several school trips were taking place during my visit.

The theme of this year's tree display is 'mystic/magic.' Many of the decorated trees were topped with witches' hats and the like! Overall very disappointing. Otherwise, it's a small museum with excellent exhibits that would be perfect for children.

We really enjoyed the tremendous variety that the exhibits offered. There was something for everyone in our group of four adults. Lots for kids too. I don't know if the exhibits change often, but would strongly recommend to out-of-towners.
